Topic: Idraei (Read 5655 times)

Alexander duPhrense entered our territory with hundreds of men and is accused of raiding Sutaiten. We shall deal with it IC but just for clarification. As soon as I can establish diplomatic relations I will, I seek compensation for this disrespect.

I play Alex too, and he hasn't raided anything (to my recollection). He passed through Idraei, but never attacked anyone even when he had the chance. The worst he did was take some rabble from an independant. He passed quite a few people he could have attacked quite easily. Also, he only had 150 men, not hundreds. Alex was literally just 'passing through'

I ran into Alex yesterday down on the south coast with another one of my characters. So he's moving pretty damn fast for someone who is supposed to be engaging in combat and looting, with a large military force. And I don't think insamegamer or I are really the "raid" type of players. Also there should have been battle reports, but I saw none of those from Suitaten, while I did for Caspian, even though Moritor is almost twice as far from disputed Thyrailva than Suitaiten.

This accusation of "raids" from Yoka. Let's take a look at their own strategy: they invade our towns, take over, strip the resources (excessive trade shipments back home) then hop to the next town. Meanwhile, I retake the first town with a lone knight because they couldn't be bothered to install a garrison or defend it. That's raid behavior. Me thinks your vassal is manipulating you to start a border war so that they can extend their own territory, and they're projecting their own modus operandi onto our players.

... Elaborate? What kind of play? The dirty kind of "Oh so they declared war on that one sub-country of ours for raiding one of their villages then complaining to the higher-ups when the village was retaken" <-- that kind of dirty war? or the 'Oh look they want to take back what's rightfully theirs. Sic em'

In other news, RASTOA had their first victory lately. Our brave Anna held them off at Infantry fields, which when retaken will be renamed in her honor.
